It is but couldnt be bothered and quickly uninstall it. Since I'm flying off and cant risk being crippled with no access to online banking.

i think android framework allows apps to see if your device have, or dont have, apps installed from unknown sources.
it's not an invasion of privacy cause the app doesnt know what other apps you have.

of all banks to do this, ocbc is the 1 that have to have this. it's the bank with the most funds, and the most senior customers.

Well, at least they no use tax money to procure Pegasus spyware services for self-interest to spy on oppositions.

 

[lalalalalala]

App store and google play, blacklist these sites by default. Sgpoo got no choice

No leh. Pretty sure overseas those bookie sure have app one

 

[Visor9999]

Apple user here, I didn’t receive the new message in the app

 

[Visor9999]

i think iOS won't let them check what other apps the user has installed.

Yes iOS is very strict on their App Store

 

[zobrak]

This is a very lazy solution that creates trouble for users

they hired some subpar architects and security team. can't blame. have to stop using ocbc

Like some Black Mirror episode

You know why this is stupid? Originally they had hardware tokens.
Hardware tokens are secure being totally out of band however the western companies that produce hardware tokens are a bunch of greedy companies as usual so the battery on these tokens run out easily.
The cost is too huge for banks so they cancelled hardware tokens.
Guess what China banks are using their own hardware tokens with long battery life and standby times.
1 token easily last for a few years and therefore they are still using it.

Trying to solve the problem the stupid way.

I'm using hardware token on OCBC Internet banking . Have been using that for years. Still got battery .

 

[LionsTurf]

Sounds like someone in CBP has done the needful

 

[DigDub]

Ocbc do this way isn't it similar to being a ransomware? Lock your money until you do their bidding.
